If you see it lying around the reading 'Getting away with it - the story of Loaded' by Tim Southwell is worth an afternoon (probably not worth buying unless it's cheap though) if only for the first few chapters about how they set up the magazine and the last few about how it started to go wrong, the middle chapters are basically just anecodotes about some of the interviews they did and aren't overly interesting. After Loaded started eating into and then eventually surpassing their market share FHM et al changed their image to take a slice of the Lads' Mags market.
